Software Application Engineer, Sr

Start Date: 2005-09-01End Date: 2005-12-01

As a member of the Lenovo Imaging Technology Center (ITC), I created silent, “hands-off” installers for any software tools, applications and hardware drivers for ITC customers. These installers were created with various packaging technologies, including AutoIT v3.1.1, Perl, Python and MS-DOS. Once the packages have been created and tested, I rebuilt them into “modules” for use with IBM’s ImageUltra image-building technology. Using the ImageUltra tool, we could combine all software, Operating systems, drivers, tools, etc into one “Golden” hard drive image. This image is installed onto one of each of the different computer models (laptops and desktops) the customer has ordered. Once tested and approved by the customer, these images are sent to the IBM Manufacturing team for large scale installation onto the customer’s computers before finally being sent to the individual end users. I created more than 60 separate software installers and an ImageUltra module for each. In addition to my packaging duties, I performed research into installation issues, customer requirement gathering, Group Policy adjustments and project documentation.
